New for Version 2.3:

■ A field guide to 924 birds on steroids
■ A search engine that makes you a birding expert
■ Now upgradeable to iBird PRO

iBird Explorer Plus is a must-have ebook for every birder and nature lover. A comprehensive compendium of identification, behavior and habitat information, iBird Plus offers hand drawn illustrations, professional photographs, range maps, playable calls and more, for 924 North American and Hawaiian bird species. A self-contained ebook, iBird Plus puts the equivalent of 4,000 pages of expert birding information at your fingertips.

Notable features of this new version are:

■ Attributes are grouped into basic, head and flight related area.
■ Updated state and province bird lists using official references.
■ Shake your device to automatically play a random bird song.
■ Taxonomic and Alphabetical family sort options on Browse screen.

Standard Features:

■ Parameter-driven search engine, lets you identify birds quickly, so you spend more time observing and less time reading
■ Bird songs and calls, loud enough to bring the bird right to you (1)
■ Hand-drawn full sized color illustrations, with perching and flight views
■ Multiple professional photographs of most species, showing plumages, sexes and seasons
■ Extensive identification, behavior, and habitat information
■ Full color range maps
■ Links to detailed Wiki pages and hundreds of Flickr photos for each bird
■ Bookmark birds as favorites for fast access
■ Lifetime updates to species information

iBird Plus uses a unique parametric search engine to help you identify birds quickly. Narrow down possible species by selecting from: location (state), shape, size, habitat, primary color, secondary color, backyard feeder status, family, bill shape, bill length, head pattern, crown color, wing shape, and flight pattern. Or search by keyword, Latin name and band code.

When you have more time on your hands, browse through the sumptuous illustrations, professional photographs and comprehensive expert birding facts.

As a standalone iPhone app, iBird Plus does not require an Internet connection for access to the rich media information in its database. This does mean that the application is large, so please be patient when downloading from the iTunes app store.
